MEMO
Dear Mr. Tompson,
I have opened a file on our new client, Mr. Hendricks. The file contains the intake memo, fee agreement and retainer agreement. Please sign these. I need to mail them to Mr. Hendricks directly, along with our standard form letter.
I am also sending a demand package and copies of all the correspondence so far. I have opened a pre-litigation folder and made up an agenda. This is to ensure we have everything we need on time, including medical records and the police report.
Thank you,
Janine
